Answer:

The area is 200.96 sq. in.

Step-by-step explanation:

Parameters:

Diameter = 16 in.

Radius is half the diameter = 8 in.

The area of a circle is given as:

$A=\pi r^2$

Where r is the radius.

Using the value of r, we have:

$\begin{gathered} A=\pi*8^2 \\ =64\pi \\ =64*3.14 \\ =200.96 \end{gathered}$

The area is 200.96 sq. in.
